I checked their domestic terror list and went back through every right wing case up till 2020. There were only 12. Five of them are highly questionable. Let’s get into them.

Up first: Henderson, Solomon Sahmad Charlie. Umm look at him. They called him right wing because he was an incel and shot up his school.

Considering how all white supremacist violence is categorized as right wing it’s surprising how much diversity is classified as right wing violence. The second one is Garcia, Mauricio Martinez. Now, I’m not one to take the ADL as a source of truth, but I thought it worth sharing their commentary on this one:

Next is Robert Aaron long. He’s the guy who shotup those Asian massage parlors because he was mad that he kept hiring prostitutes. Someone might need to walk me through how this makes him right wing…

Finally a double, two men (two races) did a drive by shooting of federal officers during a blm riot. You know, the famous right wing riots directed against law enforcement.

Bonus from the foreign terrorism list. I didn’t really bother with this one because it’s basically 100% islamist, but one marked as right wing extremism is an Indian man who tried to drive a u-haul through the White House gates, thinking he could kill the president and make himself the new Nazi leader of the United States. Like I said lots of racial diversity in the far right.

The inclusion of school shooters as “right wing” is usually based off their time spent on racist message boards and their adoption of Nazi/ white supremacist talking points. Him being black takes that off the table. His actual beliefs were a nihilistic satanist. Which at best is apolitical, and more honestly a product of left wing ideologies. There is simply nothing that puts him in line with any right wing thinking.

I don’t have the time or resources to check the endless omissions but both Darrel brooks and Rodney Hinton are not on their list of terrorists. Another notable missing event is the Las Vegas shooting.
